EUR/USD
Decline from 1.3431 has so far found support at 1.2872, with correction under way. Clearance of 1.3018 brings in focus 1.3085, key near-term resistance, 38.2% of 1.3431/1.2872 downleg and 200 day moving average. While holding below the latter, immediate focus remains on retest of 1.2872, break of which opens way towards 1.2702, short-term. Above 1.3085, would allow for stronger correction and expose 1.3150/1.3215, 50% / 61.8% respectively.

Res: 1.3018, 1.3054, 1.3085, 1.3150
Sup: 1.2993, 1.2943, 1.2904, 1.2872





GBP/USD
Break above near-term triangle pattern and test of key near-term resistance at 1.5659, increases hopes of further recovery from 1.5343, with immediate focus on 1.5692, 61.8% retracement of 1.5910/1.5343 downleg. Upside, 1.5910 remains key, with break here to signal higher low at 1.5343 and opens way for further retracement of 1.6297/1.5343 decline. Failure to clearly break through 1.5659, however, sours the tone .

Res: 1.5659, 1.5692, 1.5714, 1.5770
Sup: 1.5614, 1.5544, 1.5511, 1.5474





USD/JPY
Continues to trade in a consolidative mode after the pullback from 83.67 high found support at 82.67. Yesterday’s rejection at 83.48, just under 83.67 peak, warns of fresh weakness, with break under 82.67/62, yesterday’s low / 38.2% retracement of 80.92/83.67 upleg, needed to confirm and open 82.30, 50% / 04 Jan high, possibly 81.97, 61.8%, loss of which would signal an end of corrective phase from 80.92. Upside break through 83.48/67, however, resumes recovery and opens 83.90/84.19.

Res: 83.40, 83.48, 83.67, 83.90
Sup: 82.89, 82.67, 82.62, 82.30





USD/CHF
Maintains uptrend from 93.01 after reversal from 0.9706 found support at 0.9594 and fresh strength extended through 0.9706 to 0.9782 so far.

Corrective pullbacks should be contained by 0.97 zone to keep immediate bulls in play, while loss of 0.9592 delays.

Res: 0.9782, 0.9815, 0.9850, 0.9882
Sup: 0.9725, 0.9700, 0.9658, 0.9594
